With “Parallel Mothers," I had only seen one movie by Pedro Almodóvar so far. However, after “Pain and Glory,” I think I know what defines a relatively typical film by the director. The narrative pace is rather leisurely; the story has autobiographical elements, and his relationship with his mother plays a prominent role. In contrast to “Parallel Mothers," though, I found the story here less engaging. That being said, Antonio Banderas is really convincing in the lead role, and visually, I can't fault the movie either. Almodóvar is without question a strong filmmaker. That's why I totally understand the good reviews; it just wasn't my cup of tea in the end.
